They're still racing out at the TrestlesBut that blood it never burned in her veinsNow I hear she's got a house up in FairviewAnd a style she's trying to maintainWell if she wants to see meYou can tell her that I'm easily foundTell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's BridgeAnd tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town

Everybody's got a secret SonnySomething that they just can't faceSome folks spend their whole lives trying to keep itThey carry it with them every step that they takeTill some day they just cut it looseCut it loose or let it drag 'em downWhere no one asks any questionsOr looks too long in your faceIn the darkness on the edge of town

Some folks are born into a good lifeOther folks get it anyway anyhowI lost my money and I lost my wifeThem things don't seem to matter much to me nowTonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stopI'll be on that hill with everything I gotLives on the line where dreams are found and lostI'll be there on time and I'll pay the costFor wanting things that can only be found
